In your countries schools

What do/did you learn in history class and was/is philosophy teached in your schools?

In high school, i took world, ap european and ap us history. my school didn't teach philosophy, but we did have a sociology class which was pretty much a philosophy class in the end.

Neolithic age, antiquity - greeks and romans, middle ages - vikings, byzantine and ottomans, frankish empire and the catholic church, renaissance - reformation and inspiration from the antique, baroque - the church's comeback and the 30 years war, romanticism - rise to nationalism, european nationalism and imperialism, nationalism in our own country, ww1, ww2, cold war and how it affected our country (that kinda goes for each period)

I enjoyed very much learning about how the ancient greeks and romans vievew society and their philosophies it.

How to grow weed the most efficient way.
How to become a well paid prostitute.
How to convert to Islam (succesfully).
How to become gay.
How to ride a bicycle.
How to make clogs.

As you can see we take the third one verry serious in Amsterdam.
